Oh yes, I'm the great pretenderPretending that I'm doing wellMy need is such, I pretend too muchI'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes, I'm the great pretenderAdrift in a world of my ownI play the game but to my real shameYou've left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make believeToo real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes, I'm the great pretenderJust laughing and gay like a clownI seem to be what I'm not, you seeI'm wearing my heart like a crownPretending that you're still around

Too real is this feeling of make believeToo real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes, I'm the great pretenderJust laughing and gay like a clownI seem to be what I'm not you seeI'm wearing my heart like a crownPretending that you're still around(Still around)Read more: The Platters - The Great Pretender Lyrics | Wikia

I am singing this oldies again. Are there any smoke getting unto your ears? These oldies seems fading away from this generation. Not many people know this type of songs.

"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"
is a show tune written by American composer Jerome Kern and lyricist
Otto Harbach for their 1933 musical Roberta. The song was sung in the
original Broadway show by Tamara Drasin. Its first recorded performance
was by Gertrude Niesen, who recorded the song with orchestral direction
from Ray Sinatra, Frank Sinatra's second cousin,[1] on October 13, 1933.
Niesen's recording of the song was released by Victor, catalog# VE B
24454, with the b-side, "Jealousy", featuring Isham Jones and his
Orchestra.[2] Paul Whiteman had the first hit recording of the song on
the record charts in 1934.[3] The song was later reprised by Irene
Dunne, who performed it in the original 1935 film adaptation of the
musical, co-starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers and Randolph Scott. The
song was also included in the 1952 remake of Roberta, Lovely to Look
At, in which it was performed by Kathryn Grayson. It is perhaps best
known today from its chart-topping 1958 hit recording by The Platters.

This is one of the songs I grew up with and naturally comes to me easily. These oldies are naturally always with me.

The Platters first recorded the song for Federal Records on May 20,
1954, but the recording was not released. In 1955, after moving to
Mercury Records, the band re-recorded the song (on April 26) and it
scored a major hit when it was released in May. In November that year,
Federal Records released the original recording as a single (B-side -
"You Made Me Cry") which sold poorly.[3] Platters bass singer Herb Reed
later recalled how the group hit upon its successful version: "We tried
it so many times, and it was terrible. One time we were rehearsing in
the car ... and the car jerked. Tony went 'O-oHHHH-nly you.' We laughed
at first, but when he sang that song—that was the sign we had hit on
something."[4] According to Buck Ram, Tony Williams' voice "broke" in
rehearsal, but they decided to keep this effect in the recording. This
was the only Platter's recording on which songwriter and manager Ram
played the piano.[2]

The song held strong in the number-one
position on the U.S. R & B charts for seven weeks, and hit number
five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[5] It remained there for 30 weeks,
beating out a rival cover version by a white band called The
Hilltoppers. When the Platters track, "The Great Pretender" (which
eventually surpassed the success of "Only You"), was released in the UK
as Europe's first introduction to The Platters, "Only You" was included
on the flipside. In the 1956 film Rock Around the Clock, The Platters
participated with both songs "Only You" and "The Great Pretender".

The song was written in 1963 while John Phillips and Michelle Phillips were living in New York.[9]
He dreamed about the song and woke her up to help him write it.
Michelle Phillips enjoyed visiting churches, and she and John Phillips
visited St. Patrick's Cathedral,
which inspired the second verse of "California Dreamin’" ("Stopped into
a church..."). John hated the verse, as he was turned off to churches
by unpleasant memories of parochial school, but he couldn't think of
anything better so he left it in.[10][11] At the time, John and Michelle Phillips were members of the folk group "The New Journeymen", which evolved into The Mamas & the Papas.

They earned their first record contract after being introduced to Lou Adler, the head of Dunhill Records, by Barry McGuire. In thanks to Adler, they sang the backing vocals to "California Dreamin'" with members of the session band The Wrecking Crew[12] on McGuire's album This Precious Time.
The Mamas & the Papas then recorded their own version using the
same instrumental and backing vocal tracks to which they added new
vocals[13] and an alto flute solo by Bud Shank. P. F. Sloan did the guitar introduction.[14]
McGuire's original vocal can be briefly heard on the left channel at
the beginning of the record, having not been completely wiped.[15]

The single was released in late 1965 but was not an immediate
breakthrough. After gaining little attention in Los Angeles upon its
release, Michelle Phillips remembers that it took a radio station in
Boston to break the song nationwide.[16] After making its chart debut in January 1966,[17] the song peaked at number 4 in March on both the Billboard Hot 100, lasting 17 weeks, and Cashbox, lasting 20 weeks.[18] "California Dreamin'" was the number 1 single of 1966 in Billboard[19] and tied for number 1 with "Ballad of the Green Berets" in Cashbox. "California Dreamin'" also reached number 23 on the UK charts upon its original release and re-charted after its use in a Carling Black Labelcommercial in 1997, eventually peaking at number 9 there.

LyricsConversation is going 'roundPeople talking 'bout the girl who's come to townLovely lady pretty as can beNo one knows her name she's just a mysteryI have seen her maybe once or twiceOne thing I can say ooh she's very niceShe's a lady one I really want to knowSomehow I've got to let my feeling show

I've been thinking about the way you walkBaby ooh I like the way you talkTell you something I really can't hideHeaven must have sent you to be by my sideFresh and lovely (fresh) like a dream come trueI'll give anything to spend the night with youWhat a feeling and I can't stop it babyMiss frisky lady take me away
